So my buddy and i took out his 13 for a spirited ride last nite and he wanted to try the launch control. We took a ride down to the beach where its very quite stopped the car put it in LC mode while the rpm was set to 3000 and the car fell on its face then took off producing 4.6 sec 0-60. We then moved the rpm limit up to 3500 and the car felt no different still fell on its face and produced a 4.7! So with this we moved to 4000 rpm and it fell on its face again! Now we aren't touching anything else but LC so im guessing maybe there is a better way for him to try. Also, his RPM setting goes down much lower then 3000 RPM, my 14 starts there! im guessing there was no reason to go below 3000 considering his car falls on its face up to 4000. Is there a better way to use this feature were it won't bog so bad? He is afraid to raise the limit any higher.

I am guessing he is stock, thats the clutch protection interfering. You have to learn the car and launch a certain way to avoid the bog. It seems most tuners have figured out how to shut that feature off. Do not raise the rpm. Just tell your buddy to practice launching in sport mode ( double tap traction button while holding brake) and don't dump the clutch.
+1 Put it in sport mode.....
Yep. Once it detects a spin it kills the throttle. Get in sport mode and you'll do better. And mid '13 they changed it from 2500/5200 to 3000/4200.
Also if he's on stock rubber have him spin the tires first, then do a real run. The tires perform significantly better when warmed up if you don't let them cool off too long before the second run.
Yep, Sport Mode is the place to be when pressing play from a dig.
Exactly!!!
